A Lancing flooring supplier has launched a separate company to capitalise on the demand for solid wood floors.
Salesmark, which supplies carpet, vinyl and laminate flooring, has invested £250,000 in stock for its new Signature Solid Wood Floors operation.
The firm, established with help from Lloyds TSB Corporate, has taken on an extra warehouse to house stock, which includes boards in nine species.
Managing director Keith Fisher said: “Although carpet, vinyl and laminate remain popular, there has been a significant trend towards wood.”
He said timber was sourced from sustainable forests in Europe, the US and Malaysia, before being shipped to China for processing.
